Bone Girl Revisited

helterskelliter on March 3, 2018March 3, 2018

Hi~ For anyone who doesn’t know, the open participants of the NetNarr realm have started their own project and have invited us to participate as well. It’s an awesome opportunity to dabble with some digital alchemy~ I wasn’t sure what I was going to do at first–or if I would have time to do anything–but, miraculously, I’m on it with the time management this weekend and I also had a burst of creative inspiration. I decided to remix-ish an old story I […]

My Gifs to You~

helterskelliter on February 24, 2018February 24, 2018

Despite this week’s many technical difficulties on campus, this is not what actually happened though I thought about it…. Myself along with the rest of the goody-2-shoes class that showed up this week did stay for a crash course in gifs and their creation~ The Gif of Gifs (Okay, I’m done) This week we explored the animated gif. Though we didn’t spend much time discussing the creative form in the classroom, we did watch a short clip of a movie that is […]

Can You Hear M–Yeah, Loud & Clear~

helterskelliter on January 28, 2018January 28, 2018

The Name of the Game So, I’ve had a bit of a change of heart from last week. It’s come to my attention that I may have been far too ambivalent about my feelings toward online data tracking. More, I believe I let the internet ideals I hold in high regard cloud my judgement of the realities that currently rule the digital landscape. When confronted with the realities of third-party tracking servers and learning algorithms, it is almost impossible to […]

What Kind of Story Am I?

helterskelliter on January 21, 2018January 21, 2018

A #FakeNews one??? jk~ A best-seller I hope >.> Cutting Through the Silence For this week’s DDA, I imagined my navigation of my internet space as a bright, white line cutting through a chaotic and haphazard ball of scribbly static. It’s kind of like a radio signal–lost in the haze until the right frequency tunes in. Then, my movements have resonance, they create this larger picture. Tell a story. Reveal a larger truth. Reveal me. But, what if those tuning […]

Farewell Faerie Girl (wannabe ^.^)….

helterskelliter on May 7, 2017

Qfybmu-Egpj-uyllyzc, I think you’re very right about the Other Side being like my shadows–not as empty as I may like to or be convinced to believe. There is something remarkable about the world you call “home.” Something that is something about the place you eyeless-eyes have grown to admire, your story-skin has grown to find comfort within. It’s something I think we all here in the Other Something world should like to appreciate more than we do. For myself, I found becoming a part of your world, Faerie […]

Joy of Spring

The Digital Alchemist on April 24, 2017

The ridiculously talented Gary Cortland-Miles composed and performed this music called “Joy of Spring,” and I created a video to express his theme. https://vimeo.com/214438201

Shadow Girl Reflects VI: Sharing

helterskelliter on March 28, 2017

“World building” is somehow a difficult concept to attribute to the world–proper, so to speak. Actually, it’s kind of a hard term to think of the world in/with because the world is built, isn’t it? All around us, there are these constructed and contrived places. Infrastructure and institutions. Spaces with such seemingly benign, or, should I say, obvious stories that even considering them as storied spaces at all is bizarre. Like, I know why the library is in the center of main campus–access and availability. And, […]

Skin Girl

helterskelliter on March 27, 2017

Drumbeat batters breeze bare-knuckled. Bloody, if it could. Tut-tut-tut transforms the atmosphere into something tormented. Tortured. Just a sliver shy of a scream. I sway to the sound, skin soaking in its scathe. Absorbing the maim and claim. The tug and tear. In the thick of the crowd, illuminated by a mix of fire and faint moonlight, a figure fights the drum’s beating. Twists sharp turns to thwart possession. To prevail. A losing game. Once lured in, that’s it. Other figures clap, […]

Shedding Silence

helterskelliter on March 26, 2017

So, my laptop managed to make a miraculous recovery. *killjoys make some noise~* She’s a real trooper. Anyway, that means I finally got around to playing with sound. And, to being frustrated by it. That said, I didn’t really feel a strong pull towards any of the not-to-do-list prompts. I did really like reading one of my works aloud in class this past week, though. So, I decided to run with that and record myself–again–reading my story. Only, this time, with some added sound […]

Week 8 | Writing With Sound

le-petit jo on March 22, 2017

Hey NetNarr!! This past week, we returned from Spring Break. It was extended tho – with a little March Blizzard. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it to class. Fortunately, Professor Levine recorded it. Nonetheless, the class carried on strong. Taking the Virtual Bus Tour stop to Vermont’s Young Writer’s Project. I visited their website & It’s pretty inspiring to see really young writers have a certain comfort in their writing! This week, in serendipity – I looked up the word ‘onomonopia’ […]

Shadow Girl Reflects V: Silent

helterskelliter on March 21, 2017

So, you may have noticed that I’ve been rather silent this week. Or, maybe you haven’t…. Anyway, the reason why Shadow Girl has been on the down-low these past few days is because she is currently–and unfortunately–without a reliable mode of access to the digitalscape Last Wednesday, in fact, my laptop decided to–moment of silence–die. At least, that’s the official diagnosis till I hear back from the repair techs. (And, tbh, they’re outlook was not very encouraging.) Since, I’ve been […]

#DDA79 | I’ll Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours : Home, What’s Underneath?

le-petit jo on March 21, 2017

Good Morning NetNarr! In today’s Digital Daily Assignment #79, you asked participants to improvise from an original tag phrase ” I’ll show you mine, if you show me yours “. Then we are to choose a new one to share. The idea is to start with the phrase and to build on with an additional word – or phrase. To complete this ” remixing” with a creative representation revealed with the corresponding word. Immediately I thought of some friends over […]

#DDA75 | A (Short) Novel in One Photo

le-petit jo on March 18, 2017

Hey Netnarr! Earlier this week for Digital Daily Assignment #75, you asked for participants to spend time with this moving photo by Aleppo – to then create a short story that includes what this man is listening to on his record player. We are to use words to give a sense of the sounds of his environment. Here is my short novel (in prose). — A Man Listens to Reconstruct these are still my walls. my broken walls. am i broken? i carry […]
